Printing 1 to N with for loop

Question

See more:

I have to take an integer value of N and using a for loop in a ubuntu linux shell print a series from 1 to N.

I cannot find anything on google which works for my system.

What I have tried so far unsuccessfully is:

for (( c=1; c<=5; c++ ))
do
echo "$c"
done

and

n=5
for val in { 1..$n }
do
echo "$val"
done

Thanks in advance.

I hope you are aware that there are many unix shells out there, so you should at least tell us which one you are intending to use.
Cheers!

This works for me:

sh

#!bin/sh
for c in `seq 1 5`
do
echo "$c"
done

However, as Manfred noted, the right syntax depends on the shell you are using.
